Cons: early mornings, long hours, no raises, zero upward mobility, no responsibility

You learn relatively nothing new because management it run top down, which allows for little knowledge to trickle down to anyone outside management.The people you work with are amazing, great and funny – more... people, most of whom you'll end up calling your friends.The hardest part of the job is maintaining sanity while working seemingly endless shifts when business is slow.The people you work with are the most enjoyable part of the job and its simple labour if that's what you're interested in. – less

Cons: long hours, climbing flights of stairs to the second store office at least 20 odd times daily

I loved working at No Frills. It was fun and open, everyone tried to help everyone else and it was a very comfortable family oriented feeling. I got hired on with almost no experience to be a bookkeeper/ front end supervisor. I got taught how to close, balance tills, do closing, manage the front end. Thanks to the patience and dedication of my management team I enjoyed my time there very much.

very flexible hours. nice people. equal opportunity employer. great for part time work. It's nice working with lots of different people. Sometimes dealing with customers can be difficult, but most of the time its very good.

Not a difficult job as you mostly just scan and collect money. The hours are very flexible, you could have your availability for just weekends, provided that you've worked there for a bit and you have – more... a reasonable excuse such as school. Half of my co workers are teenagers and the other half are in their 30s+. The pay isn't that great, if you're under 18 you only get $10.30, once your 18 or older its $11. It's a pretty boring job as your standing for hours repeating the same thing and performing the same actions, your feet will end up killing by the time your shift is done. However, if you need some money on the side of your busy life, this job wouldn't be half bad. – less

A typical day at No Frills was pretty straight forward; open, reduce, than stock and clean until close. I definetly learned a few things while being employed at No Frills, one of the main things being – more... that the grocery/supermarket business really wasn't for me. I started out training in the produce department, until I sliced my thumb open cutting celery. I was bleeding so profusely that my body felt weak and my head felt weary. After that shift, I was then transferred to the bakery stock department. After about a week into training I felt extremely comfortable with the daily routine and almost all of the tasks at hand, but in the freezer there would be stock from other departments blocking my products, and I physically didn't have the strength to move the pallets with a pallet jack, nor did I feel comfortable with using an electric hand jack, so that was when I had decided it was time I left No Frills. I didn't feel comfortable with what I was doing so now I'm trying to pursue something I'd have a better chance of professing in; such as a customer service represenitive (with emphasis in the fashion industry because I'm so into clothing and dressing up) or a cashier, with my bright, cheerful attitude and my will to help others get to where they need to be. – less

General All around store clerk (Former Employee), Brampton, ON – June 16, 2015

Pros: great hours, good team members, excellent management, friendly environment

Arrived at work and asked my manager what needs to be done for the day, I would write down all my duties of the day. After I start my duties I made sure that my working area is clean and organized so I can see what items I needed to re-stock.If I finished all my duties earlier I would ask my manager which area needs to be re-stock or clean and proceeded to do whatever was needed.

Typical day at Nofrills included simple and easy tasks given to you by the managers, never had to put much thought into the work you do. Working as a grocery clerk your job consists of stocking shelves – more... (including doing overstock), helping customers and cleaning up the aisles.What I learned - new ways to quickly get stock out on the floor while memorizing where each product goes. Management was decent, although there was a lack of communications between the employer and the employees.Co-workers were friendly and welcoming. Hardest part of the job was keeping displays and end caps clean on big sale days.Most enjoyable - being able to work by myself and run most of the department by myself. – less

focus on main tasks.learned how to deal with customer with more positive attitude.management skills are very good because I manage most of things correctly and on time. my co-workers are always happy with me.I don't believe anything hard. everything takes time to learn so there will be not any hard part. communication with other employees.

It is a very enjoyable place to work. The only problem is that I continue to learn new tasks and they refuse to promote me or give me a raise. My typical day starts at 7 in the morning where i would start – more... organizing the produce cooler, initial the temperature log and start bringing the produce out onto the displays. My co-workers can work well when they put their minds to it. The hardest part of my job is picking up my co-workers slack.Little things they could and should do but don't. – less

Its fun to work in no frills, I used to work there when was in high school in 2012. It was really helpful for me to earn some money on side along with my high school. Easiest part is when you are not having a busy day and you quickly finish all the tasks without getting interrupt from the calls of co workers and customers. Hardest part is nofrills doesn't really offer more than 24 hours a week.

A day at no frills is manly busy fast past environment, as a cashier. With fun co-workers to work with. You learn about how to deal with customers everyday, the hardest part of being a cashier is not being able move around much and stand in one area for a long time.
